Somebody is Killing the Trophy Wives of Beverly Hills by John Kane- a review

Somebody Is Killing The Trophy Wives of Beverly Hills

Amazon / Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: In Hollywood, all the stars, the top directors, the studio tycoons and, of course the rock stars have replaced their first wives with the younger, newer, hotter model. Everywhere she looks, glitz-writer Nikki Tyler sees trophy wives. Some of them are even her friends… but that doesn’t mean she wants one of them to send her their manuscript and ask for help placing it with her publisher. Still, Hollywood is all about connections and favors–Nikki figures she owes it to her friend Tamara to at least look at the project which turns out to be a story of blackmail and murder among the trophy wives of Beverly Hills.

****************

Somebody is Killing the Trophy Wives of Beverly Hills by John Kane is the most delightful surprise I’ve had in months!

This incredibly well written novel is just full of wonderful humor and still has a story to tell. It’s actually told very well. Amid a mirage of fantastic names and great lines, this is a really clever murder story. You really don’t know who is doing the killing. I’m pretty good at figuring out twists, but this was really a stumper for me.

Nikki Tyler is an ex-actress, now bestselling author of fiction/romance/sex novels. She lives in Beverly Hills and has most of her adult life. Many of her acquaintances/friends are famous Hollywood celebrities and she has such a wonderful sense of humor describing them.

The new wife of her agent has written a book and she’s been “roped” into helping her with it, when she’s abruptly murdered. During the process (including meeting the miraculously endowed Detective Rocco Stefano) of the investigation of the murder – another friend is found also murdered! And that’s all the spoilers I’m giving out! LOL

This is a very entertaining book, hard almost impossible to put down. It’s truly a delightful story with so much to offer! I personally am looking forward to much more from this author! I’m now a fan of John Kane!

Pride and Precipitation by Heather Horrocks-a review

PRIDE AND PRECIPITATION (Chick Flick Clique #1) by Heather Horrocks

PRIDE AND PRECIPITATION is the first novella (September 2012) but second release in Heather Horrocks new Chick Flick Clique series focusing on a group of girlfriends, living in Aspen Grove, who get together once a week for movies, food and gossip. Pride and Precipitation follows weather meteorologist Breezy Jones and the take over at Aspen Grove’s local news station.

Breanna (Breezy) Jones is an award winning meteorologist who is loved by everyone until the day Noah Drake, the new station manager tells her that she will now be the assistant to a hot and high profile weathercaster from California. But to Breezy’s dismay, Noah’s off-handed comments to another will find Breezy believing that she is nothing but a ‘Pollyanna’ and the station needs an infusion of new blood to boost the ratings. When personalities collide, Breezy will find herself giving notice and walking away from a job that she loves.

Noah Drake finds himself attracted to the ‘spunky’ meteorologist and is completely taken off-guard when she quits. He should have realized that money isn’t everything, especially when Breezy found herself being relegated to coffee girl for a spoiled Californian implant. But Noah will soon learn that the people of Aspen Grove love their little ‘Pollyanna’ and it will be Noah who must go groveling back, when his job is on the line.

The Chick Flick Clique get together once a week to watch movies and talk. We will discover that not everyone is happy in their current relationships, and someone will soon lose a loved one to cancer. The friends allow each other to cry and bitch, as well as sharing many laughs about the local townspeople and the happenings around town. And to Breezy’s surprise, her friends will begin a crusade to get Breezy back on the job.

PRIDE AND PRECIPITATION is a humorous and romantic storyline with a HEA. Breezy has a very positive outlook on life and most would probably consider her personality a little on the quirky side with a touch of Pollyanna. I picture Amy Adams as the character of Breezy. And it was a welcome surprise to learn that a group of women could all get along without a cat fight to end their friendship. If you are looking for a quick read on a quiet night, Pride and Precipitation is a welcome read.

Jessica Andersen’s-Typos from Hell

One of the great things we love about Jess Andersen, besides her writing, is her sense of humor.  Jess enjoys sharing with her fans the “many” typos she makes as she writes her fabulous stories that entertain us.  Here are some of her fun typos.  You can find all of them on her website… www.jessicaandersen.com

Doc Jess’s Typos from Hell

.. she held herself a little stiffy …

(What a difference the letter “L” makes!!)

… their bodies were still intertwined, like they’d been going at it hot and heavy with their moths rather than their minds …

(Is that a pair of mothballs in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?)

… she looked stunning, standing naked beside the silvery waterfall and the glittering poo that spread beneath it …

(All that glitters is not gold!)

“For Chrissakes, are we going to get moving, or keep purrying around?”

(Well, I guess ‘pussying’ has that cat connotation, after all)

… he bowed over the sacrifice, humbling himself before the gods of the ski.

(I’ve known guys who worship their cars, but really? A ski?)

… cut through her like a thousand shards of colored gas …

(Well, I guess if unicorns can fart butterflies, rainbows aren’t that far off…)

… in the new Nightkeepers’ novella, Crusty Skull!

(Er, that’d be Crystal, not Crusty. Two very different concepts, that!)

… deep down inside her, a big-assed case of merves took up residence.

(I hate it when I get a case of the merves!)

… at the sound, her rear exploded … 

(Er, fear, maybe? Or else too many beans?)

Manhung in the Wild West 

(This one I sent in an email to my editor, with the end result that we now call

the book ‘Well Hung in the Wild West.’ Which is pretty accurate, really- lol.)

…he was going to get a lot of head for that one.

(Um, that should be ‘heat’. Or perhaps not 😉

He was the moist irritating person she’d ever had the misfortune of meeting.

(I think there’s a creme for that.)

… he patted the cushion, inviting her to spit beside him.

(Or ‘sit’. Depends on her mood, I guess! LOL)

 

… it was her kinky weapon.

(Er … ‘her kind of weapon’? Yikes! Sticks and stones may break my bones,

but whips and chains excite me …)

… her heart broke into a thousand glittering sharts …

(No. Just no. <G>)

… testing the strength of the bone that connected them.

(Bond. And no further comment!)

 … she choked up like it was a Louisville Slutter …

(a little Friday autoerotic asphyxiation, maybe?)
